The following might be good for some shows to look at as an
addition.

At the Great Oregon Steam-Up we did something this year that was
quite interesting. Tom Street of Bend, Oregon came up with the idea
of the 'Great Tick Over'. This is quite a novel idea and
made a great addition to the show. It is a contest to find the
slowest running engine, by classes. A traveling trophy is awarded
to the slowest running engine entered without regard to size.
Recognition is also given to those winning in their respective
class.

This is something that can really tax a person trying to figure
out how to get the rpm down as low as it will go and not stall the
engine.
